WITH WHICH THE 4 , TRUE SUN " IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1838. We have much pleasure in directing attention to an excellent article, which we copy from the Cambridge Independent Free Press, respecting the merits of the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is highly gratifying to learn that this Institution is taking deep root throughout the country. Branch societies are forming in all the large towns and influen tial districts, where the manifold benefits resulting from life assurance are becoming more duly appreciated. Life insurance is to the provident man in humble life what an estate is to the rich. It adds to his present comfort and self respect, while it secures his future independence. A short time ago we adverted in general terms to the chilling manner in which the Right Honourable the PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE had not only disappointed the just hopes of his constituents, but also those of a large party who gave their support - - to the present Administration because he had been - nominated a Cabinet Minister, and because he had been appointed to an office, the duties of which were peculiarly adapted, from his previous commercial ex perience, to his habits and talents. This nomination also gave the greater satisfaction to the Reformers of that day, inasmuch as they indulged in the expectation that a sprinkling of his already avowed liberal senti ments at the Council Board, would not fail to have the beneficial effect of neutralizing, at least, some of the Conservative leaven—which in spite of Whig pro- fessions had begun to swell, and to betray the character of the mass. Moreover, his of- ficial station conferred on him ample power and convenient opportunity to expunge all those abuses and absurdities with which he had over and over again declared the practices of the Board of Trade were crowded, and against which he had so loudly and eloquently inveighed for several Sessions from the Opposition benches. We mean, therefore, to particu larise, and for that purpose we select one of the nu merous abuses which, as Mr. THOMSON, he had con demned, and which, as the Right Hon. C. P. THONI - he has allowed to remain in blooming vigour to the hour of our writing. Amidst a heap of other abuses none seemed in the eyes of Mr. THOMSON so fraudulent as the bounty granted on sugar. Whenever the question of sugar-duties and bounties came under the consideration of the House, Mr. TimmsoN was at his post, prepared with his strongest invective to rail against the scandalous properties of the bounty system, cha racterizing it as a fraud invented solely to enrich the West India Slave-owners, at the expense of the honest public—in fact, as a job that ought not to disgrace the country for another day. These were the opinions of plain Mr. THOMSON. Now let us examine how the sayings of plain Mr. THOMSON harmonize with the doings of the Right Hon. C. P. THOMSON, the Cabinet Minister. It was naturally supposed, and candy expected, by all those who had suffered from the rapacity of this monster evil—this denounced bounty on sugar—that the new PRESIDENT of the Boson would, without delay, attack and annihilate the grievance ; that he would not brook its existence a n hour beyond the time required to ab o li s h i t . How did he act ? Why, to the surprise of the sufferin g consu mers, and to the exultation of th e West India recipients of the spoil, the Right Hon. Gentleman announced in a moderated tone, that he should institute an inquiry as certain what the b ounty really amounteCl q to t — o anti whether a part of it might not be of that legitimate nature, which would render his official interference improper ; so that that which had been denounced as , a glaring fraud by p l a i n Mr. TiromsNc.:o a , in becam e the eye of the R i g ht Hon. C. P . Tuo doubt ful affair After a va st deal of twaddle and much loss ilfe r o e f d t ime, , during which th e p ublic were recklessly p the Right Hon. Gentleman expressed his determinatio n to satisfy his mind by actual experiment. Not content with the notorious fact , t hat the sugar refiners were selling their double-refined su g ar at an ex-bounty price, four or five shillings below the ex-duty price of the Mus covado sugar from which it was made —disregarding al together that the markets indicated indisputably an enormous bounty, and that the British consumer was paying something like 203. per cwt. for his sugar above the Continental value of it, he deter mined on indulging his whim in an experiment. A sugar house was prepared with the necessary utensils, and a fitting person secured who could undertake the management of this pet concern. After the lapse of lump months, the services of an eminent chem,: a t were i retained, the experiment dragged its weary length through nine long months, at a cost which would have defrayed the working charges of the largest establish ment in London ; a statement of the results of these experiments was pompously laid upon the table of the House, disclosing about half the amount of bounty which really existed. Gigantic threats were made at the commencement of each succeeding Session, that a sweeping alteration would be made when the Bounty Bill came under discussion ; but these invari ably dwindled into pigmy announcements of what was intended to be done in the following year ! The re sult is, that this system, denounced by plain Mr. THOMSON as nefarious, &c., has survived all his in dignation, and continues, and has continuel, to rob the public annually of at least two millions sterling from the day plain Mr. THOMSON" took office to the hour at which we now write ; but we shall return to this subject. We congratulate the friends of Polish independence —and their number is co-equal with the friends of liberty throughout the worn—on the appearance of a Monthly Magazine exclusively devoted to the eluci dation of the present state, sufferings, and prospects of that once great and galla..t nation. We have long felt the want of such an organ of the opinions of the brave exiles who have sought an asylum in this country ; because we knew that a correct knowledge of the sufferings of Poland—of the necessity of her resuscitation to the well-being of civilized Europe— was alone wanting to awaken the active sympathies of the British people. It must be confessed, how ever, that the lukewarm in the cause of Polish freedom will find much to justify their non-interference in the sentiments ex pressed by the Editor in his introductory chap ter. The schism which divides the Polish exiles into two parties, and which consequently destroys I their unity of patriotic action, is greatly to be la- , mental. Whether the pure Republicans arc, or are not the more numerous, is a question ,Thich" we have no sure means of rightly determining ; but certain we are that they are the least likely to influence the Councils of France and England. Besides, we cannot approve of differences about events which can only follow the deliverance of Poland from the iron yoke of the CZAR. " First catch your hare," ad vises the prudent cook, " before deciding upon the manner of dressing it." In the same spirit we say to the Polish exiles—First strike from the limbs of your country the accursed chains imposed by Russia, and then it will be time enough to adjust the question of internal Go vernment. The Abbe STEYE'S system of cut and dry Constitutions never has, and never can answer, so long as man is not a mere machine. Erase from the forehead of Poland the stamp of slavery, impressed by the hoof of a ruthless barbarian—restore her to her natural rank among the nations of the world—re kindle in her bosom the now almost extinct fire of civilization, and the proper adjustment of her internal institutions will gradually follow without disorder or confusion. The Poles have read history to little purpose if they have not learned that want of union in one great object has uniformly been the destruc tion of all political refugees. One of the causes that most contributed to the ruin of the exiled House of STUART, was the intrigues carried on at the mock Court of St. Germain's for appointments in the english Cabinet, while the very intriguers them selves knew that they were under a sentence of out lawry. In the same way the intrigues and dissensions of the French Royalists who escaped to Turin at the first outbreak of the Revolution, frustrated plans, and dissipated energies, which, if properly exerted and followed up, might have saved France the guilt of. shedding rivers of innocent blood. The Polish Nobles have already given proofs of their willingness to make common cause with the majority _of their country men, in proclaiming the extinction of serfage, and the equality of the people a 3 regrds civil rights ; and though there may be some among the exiles who may be opposed to such liberal concessions, we cannot be persuaded that the patriots are acting wisely in providing against such a problematical evil as their future influence in the councils of the Polish nation. We need not assure the gallant Poles that these observations are not made in an unfriendly or carping spirit. On the contrary, we highly approve of their present undertaking ; and trust that it will be so conducted as to obtain for its contributors the thanks of all who, like ourselves, regard the resuscitation of Poland as essential to the moral and physical welfare, and to the lasting peace of Europe. Letters and Papers from Madrid, to the 22d ult., have reached us. The Finance 'Minister was then in treaty with M. SAFONT, about the raising of a new loan. The Spanish capitalist was, it appears, acting chiefly as the agent of a London house. A supply of clothing for the army of ESP ART ERO, left Madrid a few hours before the departure of the mails for Paris. The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have been duly received this morning. Their contents, though not politically important, are not wanting in interest. From Spain the substance of the intelligence communicated to the French Government is embodied in the following telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, which appears in the Monileur of Saturday TELEGRAPIIIC DESPATCII. " Twenty-five Carlist battalions have assembled in Biscay and the valley of Mena. Numerous convoys are constantly being di rected on Balmaseda, where Maroto and Don Carlos were still on the 23d. The Carlists are apparently desirous of obtaining possession of Portugalette, the artillery and provisions of which hare been just augmented. The garrison has received a re inforcement of 500 men from St. Sebastian. Espartaro was on the 18th at Haro, and his troops, with tho exception of eight battalions sent into Castile, were disposed en echelon from Santa Maria de Cuba to Ona." The following is the continuation of the telegraphic dis patch from Strasburg . , which was interrupted by night, and the first part of which we gave yesterday. We repeat a phrrse that the sense of the words may be more connected : " In this letter he speaks of his acquired rights, avoiding explanati ons on hi s d ou bl e qualifications, and manifests the hope that his absence will riot be eternal. The Directory transmits this evening, the 25th, this letter to the Cantons ; it has replied to the Government of Thurgau that this de claration was too ambiguous to serve as a basis for an official step on its part, and that it recommended the Government, above all things, to designate the place to which Louis Bona parte was willing to retire." The Swiss question is regarded by the French Press as settled. France, it seems, has wisely re solved to be satisfied with the voluntary retirement of Prince Louts NAPOLEON from the Swiss territory. It was generally rumoured that the PRINCE would make England the place of his future residence. The following extracts from the French Journals of Friday and Saturday include all the news which they contain of any interest : One of the Evening Papers cf Friday asserts that the Go vernment had determined that the Baron Deffaudis should not return to Mexico with the squadron of Admiral Baudin. The negociations with that State would be conducted by the Admiral, who is furnished with the ne cessary powers. It is stated that the Duke de Montebello is absolutely ap pointed to the Embassy at Naples, and will be succeeded in Switzerland by M. Nlortier, whose post at the Hague is to bo filled by M. Bois le Comte.—National. " The resolution of Prince Louis Napoleon to quit Switzer land," says a Thurgau correspondent of the Zurich Gazette, " is the result of negotiations to which Switzerland is a stran ger, and we are happy in being able to affirm that not a single word in this Canton has been uttered to induce the Prince to take this step. Some persons say that passports will be given to the Prince by Austria." We stated the other day that a. popular meeting bad been held at Langenthal, in Switzerland, convoked by the Com mittee of the Swiss National Association, and that an Addre ■ to the French nation had been voted. The following is tl text of this document F r ,nehm. en !—The first rampart of Europe is throw, down,-Polandis sufficed, Must both the hul war k e of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1838. France and of liberty undergo the same fate? Shall Belgium by the malign influence of protocols, and Switzerland, by the exactions of diplomacy, submit to see their existence threatened ? No, Frenchmen, such hateful policy can surely never be acknowledged either by your people or by your Chamber of Deputies, and those who are the au thors will tbemselves reflect on the danger, in the present situation of Europe, of driving a nation which meddles only with its own affairs, by puerile pretences, into a desperate struggle for its independence and honour. You will believe that there arc still other citizens in the confederacy than those who know not how to resist the temptation of gold or the ar tifices of diplomacy. In all events, Frenchmen, we rely upon those sentiments of honour which arc innate in you, as well as upon our strength and the protection of Heaven." Letters from Malta, dated the 17th of September, state that his Excellency Rcdschid Pasha, the Ottoman Ambas sador to the English Court, who had performed quarantine in the lazaretto of Valetta, made his public entry on that day, and was received with much ceremony by the Governor and the different authorities. Great fetes were in preparation in honour of the Turkish Ambassador, who intended passing five or six days in the island. He would afterwards return on board the steam-boat Perlichevhet, and proceed to Naples. ALaXANDRIA, SEPT. 7.—My last letter expressed a hope that the vessels would soon be able to leave our port with clean bills of health, but this hope has been disappointed, as several cases of plague have occurred within the last few days. The seat of the disease is still in the same quarter, and until great and indispensable measures arc taken, it is not probable that the malady will altogether disappear. Until within these few days Egypt has presented the picture of a valley of desolation. The Nile, after rising to the height of eighteen cubits, ceased to increase, and seemed rather to diminish. This presage of a sterile year spread terror among the people as well as among the members of the Government. Immediately the popula tion cf all religions assembled in the temples and iu the fields to address public prayers to the Almighty to avert the scourge of a famine. The Mussulmans were peculiarly remarkable, walking in crowds of men, women, and children, headed by their priests, and elevating their voices to heev:ei in walking along the batiks of the Nile. This spectacle had somethine • too touching in it; Heaven relaxed, and from the 30 th a August to the Ist of September the Nile rose to lei cubits This height is sufficient for the ordinary fertilization of should it last for a fortnight, of which the hope is generally en ' tertained.—Journal des Debats. At Stockholm, as a letter of the 14th inst. from that capital states, there have been no more assen - :blings of the populace since that of tha loth, which has thrown the upper and the middling classes of society into considcraLle uneasiness; but several windows have since been broken by persons, who have remaMed undetected. The Courrier Francais, in publishing the text of Prince Louis Napoleon's letter, announcing his intention of withdraw ing voluntarily from Switzerland, styles the document " model of dignity, grandeur, and moderation." This journal cannot agree with the assertion of the telegraphic despatch that the Prince has avoided explanations on his double qualifi cation. " He has said all that he ought to say," observes the Courrier ; he could, in fact, say nettling respecting a double qua lification, which he has never attributed to himself, and the in vention of which is to be attributed to French diplomacy alone. It is only in his capacity of a Swiss citizen that be has written to the President of the Petty Council of Thurgau, and, as a Swiss citizen, has he proclaimed his attachment to the land in which be so long found a hospitable asylum. The qualification with regard to which he is reproached for not bay ing been explicit has its origin only in the apprehensions of the French Government. But the resolution adopted by the Prince has at last solved the grand question. Count Mole will recover his slumbers, and the King of the French will cease to believe his throne in danger." This journal concludes by declaring its belief that the Prince's expression of his hope of again seeing Switzerland will afford a pretext to the French Government for insisting on a decree of banishment against him. " Switzerland," says the Courricr, "is a democratic Government, which the French Cabinet would be delighted to humble, and thereby to obtain the approbation of Austria, Bavaria, Wurtcmberg, Baden, and even of Charles Albert. One result of the policy of Count Mole and the Doke de Montebello is, that we have now another Pretender to the throne of France in addition to the Duke de Bordeaux." STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 21.—The Stat.stidning contains an official article, stating that the proceedings against G. Tho.ree, student of philosophy, accused, besides other crimes, of having uttered culpable expressions respecting his Majesty, shall be quashed PS far as concerns this point ; but with respect o any other grounds of accusation the law is to take its course. llaniburgh Papers, Sept. 28.

THE KERSAL MOOR MEETING.—The Manches ter Times of Saturday contains a plan, from actual adineasurement of the ground occupied by the great meeting on Kersal Moor, and, making the very liberal estimate of seven persons to each square yard, calcu lates the numbers present at 45,000. There is much good sense in the following observations of that Journal : The Morning AJvertiscr of Tuesday, on the authority of the guesses of its reporters, states the number of persons on Kersal Moor last Monday as amounting to 300,000. The Manchester Guardian prefers the computation said to have been made by Colonel Wemys.s, and several other military officers, and expresses his belief that 30,000 is rather over than under the number. This extraordinary discrepancy proves either that there is no honesty in the Press, or that there are no pains taken to arrive at an approximation to the truth. The assemblage, when first witnessed from the rising ground which overlooks the Moor, was one of the most im posing we had ever seen. A space of 250 yards in length, by 150 in breadth, seemed quite filled with human beings, and the efict of the picture was greatly increased by the number and ttsteful disposition of the flags and banners. We saw it from bis point just at tLe time when the last flag in the procession care upon the ground, and our impression was that there were more people than we had seen at any public meeting since fhe 16th August, 1819. In attempting to foem an estimate of the number assembled we had no temptation to lead us away from a fair calculation. We went so far with the main objects of the meeting as to have no inclination to underrate its importance—and, on the other hand, we disagreed so far with the nostrums of some of the leaders, as to have no desire to exaggerate Vie numbers. We know that these remarks will be sneered at by the men who limit the numbers to 30,000, and heartily abused by those who swell them out to 300,000 ; but we care not. We have given the grounds on which we have for aed our opinion, and we believe that it will not differ much from that of any honest and unprejudiced computator. DUTY AND INCLINATION, EDITED BY MISS LANDoN.-This novel belongs to the Austen school. Its object is to show how the contest (hourly seen in all ranks and conditions of life) between duty and inclination works for ultimate good, and how, by that very contest, the character is strengthened. This lesson is inculcated, and its truth triumphantly worked out, through the medium of an interest ing story—a series of pictures of real life—ind a set of cha racters that have the merit of speaking the ordinary language tf life, and of wearing the " costume of Christian," and not the second-hand finery proper to the creations of vulgar ro .nance and a vicious taste. There are evidences of a prernis ng ability in many parts of this story, and of an excellent moral purpose throughout. There is nothing inapp opriate or exaggt rated in the fair Editor's observation, that " the tend er calm at the close, by Cißdit 149rMilae.7, is what we might fancy a twilight woul d be CITY REGISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr- MYLNE.) The lists of the Livery Companies were concluded this morning, but nothing of the slightest interest occurred. Mr. MYLNE has announced his intention of taking the fol lowing parishes and precincts to-moraow :—Whitefriars Precinct, St. Vcdast Foster, St. Thomas the Apostle, St. Swithin, London Stone, St. Stephen, Walbrook, St. Stephen, Coleman-street, St. Sepulchre, St. Peter, West Cho ap, St. Peter Lc Poor.

Ann, Bina:friars, St. Anthony Antholm, St. Augustin V. Austin, were this morning proceeded with ; but up to the t'-ie of cur Reporter leaving the Court nothing of imp ift cc bad transpired. BOW-STREET.--(T El IS DAY.) An elderly woman, named Frances Humphries, residing at 4, Princes-street, Holborn, was brought up on a charge of stealing two pieces of cloth, the property of John William Pocknell, tailor and draper, 11, Little Gray's Inn-lane. Mr. Flower, the solicitor, attended on the part of the de fendant. The prosecutor stated, that for a considerable time past he had been consecutively plundered of property to the amount of 201. •On Friday last, he left home on business, and on the fol lowing day in the afternoon, when he returned, the premises were found broken open, some of the locks appearing to have been damaged with a smith's hammer. He instantly made in quiries if any person had been observed entering the house, and several neighbours, with the policemen, informed him that the defendant had been seen lurking about the place during his absence. He then called 38 F division, who upon appre hending her found the duplicates pro !uced of the property which had been pledged in the name of his wife. Mr. FLowan asked the prosecutor if he was not connected with the poor old woman at the bar ? The prosecutor said she was his mother-in-law, and she had in conjunction with his wife, robbed him on several occasions. Mrs. Pocknell then stepped forward, and said that the pro secutor had deserted her,. and she was compelled to fly to her mother in order to seek a shelter, and as she was reduced to the greatest indigence, she pawned the artichs to support herself. Mr. FLOWER asked her, was she ever obliged to apply to a Magistrate?—Mrs. Pocknell replic,l, that from a continuance of ill-treatment she bad her husband up before the Magistrates of Hatton-garden. The prosecutor said there was a conspiracy got up against him. Mr. FLOWER it is only a family squabble originated by yourself. Mr. TWYFORD ordered the defendant to be discharged, and the duplicates to be given up to the prosecutor. Elizabeth Burns, a servant, was charged by Mr. Tessier, proprietor of the Craven Head public house, Drury-lane, under the following circumstances : The prisoner, it appeared, lived in the service of the com plainant for three weeks, and left to enter another place with out giving any notice of her intertion, or without applying for a chat-cc-ter in the usual way. She had not been long in her new service, W hen a robbery was committed there, and on ap plication being then made for her character, the account given was by no means satisfactory, which caused her to be instantly discharged. She then paid a visit to the complainant to call him to an accaunt.

CORN-EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain ar.d Flour coastwise last week were small, of Irish Oats and Foreign Wheat good. There were considerable transactions in Wheat during the week, and prices rather exceeded the terms of the previous Monday, other Grain remaining stationary. This morning there has been a fair fresh supply of English Wheat, and a good show of spring Corn. The quality of the new Wheat being very mid dling, the best parcels sold readily to the millers at Is. to 2s. per quarter advance i❑ value, and other qualities remained as last reported. In Foreigh Wheat the demand was not so ex tensive in the present week. but prices of the best are rather higher. Barley meets a dull sale, at Is. to 2s. per quarter reduction. Beans maintain the rates last reported. Boiling Peas are again rather dearer. Grey Peas arc firm in value. Thee is a moderate demand for Oats, at the terms of this day se'nnight. Flour continues to meet a fair sale, at no variation in the quotations. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Nheat, Red (old) White (01d)... (Os. 718.

The quarterly sale of Tea, consisting of about 17,000,000 lbs., commenced this morning at eleven o'clock, at the Com mercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane. Very few country buyers present at the sale, but a good attendance of the brokers. This being the fourth quarterly sale of free-trade Tee, and the last of the number that were decided upon as an experiment, some of the trade inquired whether after this sale it was intended to continue quarterly sales. As every importer is at liberty to sell his Tea at such times as he likes, no guarantee could, of course, be given by any individual that future sales would be quarterly ; but the general feeling in the room appeared to be in favour of them. The sale then commenced, but progressed up to the time of our going to press very heavily. Most of what was put up was bought in, some that had been commenced was withdrawn and but very little sold. No accurate prices can yet be quoted. COLONIAL . MARKETS. —..... To-day by public sale we had nothing done, but the busi ness advertised for the week is considerable, and consists chiefly of the primary commodities. For to-morrow the com mencement of the Indigo quarterly sale, consisting of 11,858 chests.

Saltpetre__ 1,800 bags; Cocoe-184 bags Trinidad; and Ginger -50 barrels Jamaica, and 500 pockets Bengal. The Imports to day were not heavy, up to the time we went to press. NEWCASTLE CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 29. We had a small supply of Wheat at Market to-day from Norfolk and Suffolk, as well as the interior, and the sales made were at an advance of 23. to 3s. per quarter on the prices of last Saturday ; but the business transacted was on a limited sc:tle, owing to the opposition manifested by our millers to purchase according to the new regulation of aolbi. Rye met a slow sale, at late prices. Oats were in good supply, and a limited request at our quotations. Malt also sold slowly, and was the turn cheaper. In the value of Barley, or other grain, we have little alteration to notice. Flour was generally held at our quotations, but few or no sales have yet been made at the advanced rates. New. (Na.

In the early part of the week we bad some heavy rain, with every appearance of unsettled weather. Since Tuesday, however, it has been finer than at any former period of the summer or autumn ; and though the eastern and southern counties have been visited by heavy rains even up to Thursday night, harvest operations have been going on satisfactorily in this and the northern districts, where, though much grain is cut, scarcely any is carried. We have had a steady business during the week, at rather improving prices for most articles. At Liverpool yesterday the trade was steady, and at Wake field, in the face of very fine weather, and a supply of up wards of 30,000 quarters of Wheat, a fair business was done at full and in some instances rather advancing prices. Sup plies of new grain are small from all qnarters. At this day's market there is a moderate inquiry for good new and old wheats, at an advance of 2d. per bushel on the rates of tl:is day work, but inferior descriptions are unaltered in value. Fresh Flour is scarce, and Is. to 23. per sack dearer. Good barrels also are Is. per 196 lbs. higher. In old oats no varia tion; best new would bring 33. 63. per 45 lbs. Good old Wheat goes off in retail parcels at Is. per load advance. New is much wanted, and would bring 30s. per load. Bei ng th e turn dearer. Malt as last quoted. DERBY CORN MARKET, SEPT. 29. Our Corn-market was well attended. Sale of Wheat was brisk ; other grain was stationary. Batt old Wheat, 725. to 745. ; new ditto, 68s. to 725. Barley, 318. to 345. &ant, 425. to 465.
